Investigation Summary
Employee #1, an experienced welder and fabricator, was using a Black & Decker 9 in. long sander/grinder with grinding wheel, model # 4075, serial #86877-Type 5. He was making a notch in a beam (a "rat hole") when he lost control of the grinder. The grinding wheel caught on the steel and kicked back into Employee #1's left upper arm. It went through his clothes and ground his upper arm at the shoulder down to the bone. The grinding wheel was not guarded.
